Hopefully it works out for both of us. I think VXX's contango can work for us sometimes too. VXX doesn't swing has high as VIX, but it doesn't fall as low either. Good luck with that Valjean.

I like that my breakeven is down at $18, and wouldn't mind owning VXX at that price. It's great to be able to trade volatility, which will stay within a range. My only frustration is VXX's contango loss, which causes it to steadily underperform the VIX. I decided to follow your lead, selling a VXX 20 December put for $2.
